NOOK User Guide Getting Started 10
Getting Started
This section gives an overview of what you need to do to start using your NOOK.
In the Package
The package your NOOK comes in contains four things:
• Your NOOK
• A power adapter that can be plugged into an electrical outlet. It has a nonpolarized type-A
plug for use in North America. The standard-A plug on the USB cable (the big end) fits into the
power adapter to connect the power adapter to your NOOK.
• A USB cable for transferring files to and from a personal computer, and for charging from a
wall outlet or computer. The USB cable has a micro-B plug on the NOOK end and a standard-A
plug on the computer end. It is a shielded USB 2.0 cable.
• A printed Quick Start Guide
The battery is preinstalled in your NOOK.
You can save the package as a convenient place to store your NOOK when not in use, and as an
inner shipping box in the event you need to send your NOOK in for repairs or replacement.
